The following code example shows how to create a user-defined type.

C#

Server srv = new Server("(local)");
Database db = srv.Databases["AdventureWorks2008R2"];
Schema schema1 = new Schema(db, "ExampleSchema");
schema1.Create();
UserDefinedType udt = new UserDefinedTableType(db, "udt", "ExampleSchema");
udt.Create();
DataType userType = new DataType(SqlDataType.UserDefinedType, "udt", "ExampleSchema");

Powershell

$srv = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")
$db = $srv.Databases.Item("AdventureWorks2008R2")
$schema1 = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Schema($db, "ExampleSchema")
$schema1.Create()
$udt = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.UserDefinedType($db, "udt", "ExampleSchema")
$userTable = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DataType([Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.SqlDataType]::UserDefinedType, "udt", "ExampleSchema")
